TheBoy and I went to the ocean yesterday. We were so close after attending another engagement that we decided we needed to go see the ocean. Which promptly attacked us, soaking our legs to halfway up to our knees. We also spent a little over an hour at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, which is where read more

I have the best boy ever. I got this from him last week but decided to save posting about it until today because it was my gift from him. I sent him an email one day talking about how much I wanted the WWII sock knitting kit. Next thing I know the UPS Man is read more

I finished MaryElla on Saturday, weaving in the ends of yarn used to sew on the snaps in the car on the way to the birthday celebration. I would’ve liked to get photos up before now, but with the sick and all, I just didn’t get to it. So, here they are now. I used read more

I’ve been sick for two days with an unidentifiable nastiness. I feel much like I did when they first diagnosed me with mono, except that my tonsils aren’t swollen. That worries me. I was feeling much better last night and then I had a weird, random anxiety attack and nosebleed at about 12.30am which meant read more

As if I don’t have enough to do, I finally started Rogue today. I’m the hem and 2 rows in.

Ossie Davis passed away. Granted, he was 87 but man, what a loss. Such a fantastic actor. John Vernon who played the Dean in Animal House, also passed away.

…Or maybe I’m trying to do too many things with them. At any rate, there’s been a lot of tired in my life lately and tired tends to lead to a lack of creativity.

Life has been a series of papers and tests lately. Ah, midterms. Something approaching normality will resume after today, when my last item is due for the time being. I do have a take home midterm, but the professor for that class said “you guys could complete this as a class, and I’d be okay read more

Okay, so its been a long time since I actually photographed any of my knitting. Here I present you with some photos of a sock in progress. I’m calling it the retro-stripe because of the colorway of the yarn. Something about 3 shades of green, tan and white that screams I (heart) the 70’s to read more

Its a layered bob, the back sits right at my hairline. The way the stylist did it looked pretty soccer-mom so the fabulous Kristi took me to the product graveyard in her house and gave me some goo, then we went and bought more goo (sebastian xtah twisted taffy) and we funkified the soccor-mom. I read more

The architectural profession mourns one of the greatest American architects to ever live.

In just a few hours from now I will be minus much of the hair I currently have. I hold quite a bit of trepidation because my hair has been its current length or longer for over 4 years now. I’ve been tossing around words like 3-4″ long and they’re starting to freak me out read more
